Battlefield Megathread

Thank goodness that the snipers in this game are not practically invincible. It gets really irritating in Bad Company 2.

Also, Gunner class right here. <<

So, when I click multiplayer it says
"Unknown error"
then the loading thing at the bottom right of the screen just keeps loading :C

1. It's in beta, there's only one(right now caspian is down) playable map. It's not going to be that great.
2. I saw on the bf3 forums that it's not the most recent patch. Meaning there will be changes from our preview gameplay to the retail version.

I wasn't planning on buying it anyways. The browser based server list just goes too far. This isn't some stuffty korean MMO. Also, buying the game from origin would only support the propagation of stuffty digital download services, which would effectively give the PC platform the equivalent of xbox VS ps3. I do not want that to happen, so I will just save my money for better games and not support stuffty platforms.

When does beta end? Anyways even though I'm a huge sniper I find that I do best with the Support class. For some reason I don't like the Recon class :/

Rate the game, not the DRM. If you're refusing to buy a good game because of what it's on, you're being stupid.

Agreed.

Stop using the word "epic" to describe mundane occurrences like that.

The small things are the epic things. <3

Fun fact:  The server based browser isn't THAT bad.

I would rather have a normal main menu though, and the lack of ability to integrate it into Steam as a non-Steam game is annoying.

The browser based function is incredibly anti-piracy though, if you think about it.  You have to have a validated account to access the BattleLog and it's going to be very hard for pirates to find a way around it.  So far this is like the only method probably that's worked but I fear that it will become the top form of DRM where all games check-in first with a browser-based game launcher.

I would say its pretty loving inconvenient to have to run origin, have a EA browser plugin installed, and use a web browser based server list to play one game.

Also, buying the game from origin would only support the propagation of stuffty digital download services, which would effectively give the PC platform the equivalent of xbox VS ps3.

I don't think you understood my point here. Do you really want to end up running a digital distribution platform for every game publisher just so you can play their exclusive games? Personally, I will not take this bullstuff.

Is that why you use Steam and have your profile to it linked?

Hypocrite.

Are you saying steam is stuffty?

Steam is a DRM and you said that you think DRMs are stuffty.
